A US woman who shot and killed her husband and two adult children before taking her own life is thought to have committed the shocking crime as a result of being ostracised from the religion she was raised in.

Every time I tell a mate I’m doing a story on cryptocurrency, they invariably ask me the same two questions: should they invest their own hard-earned money, and which cryptocurrency will get them a Lamborghini/yacht/island quickest?

Changes to WA electoral boundaries afoot

Major changes to Western Australia's electoral boundaries have been proposed to reflect uneven population growth in the state.

Electoral Distribution Commissioners have recommended abolishing the regional district of Eyre, held by Liberal Graham Jacobs since 2008.

Mr Jacobs previously represented Roe, which was also abolished.

Eyre, a pastoral and mining area, extends as far west as Westonia and includes Esperance and parts of the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.

The commissioners suggested Eyre be absorbed by another agricultural district.

Only the regional districts of Kimberley, Pilbara, Geraldton, Mandurah, Dawesville and Murray-Wellington will remain the same under the proposed changes.

In the metropolitan area, the commissioners recommend adjusting all electoral districts except Mirrabooka and Morley and adding a new district in the South Metropolitan Region, centred on the suburb of Baldivis.
